Answers to the most common questions North Texas homeowners ask about crape myrtles, live oaks, and shrubs.
Late winter (January–February) while the tree is dormant. Trimming in spring or summer removes flower buds and can stress the tree.
Crape murder is the severe topping of crape myrtles down to ugly stubs. It damages structure and leads to weak, messy growth. We avoid topping and instead use selective cuts that maintain the tree’s natural form.
Live oaks should only be trimmed from July through January. Avoid February–June, which is peak oak wilt season when sap beetles can spread the fungal disease between fresh cuts.
Most North Texas shrubs do well with trimming 2–4 times per year. Fast-growing hedges may need a touch-up every 6–8 weeks, while slow growers may only need a yearly shape-up.
